    Hello Mrs. Carter,

    I just want to say thank you. I am a student at a local comm. college and I am taking a study skills class, part of the homework for the class is to watch videos from Pearson Custom. You are in every single on of those videos and I thank you for them because they were very helpful to me. I learned a lot from them and have been able to improve on how to manage money, how to study better, how to prepare for interviews, etc. Thank you for the videos that you and fellow Pearson Hall members helped create. It literally changed my life for the better
